Yaoguang Attached Pearl
He stood in the very center of the floating island, more than three thousand meters above the ground, as gusts of cool wind swept by, making his robes flutter.
For some reason, he felt a sense of desolation washing over him.
At this moment, as if sensing Lin Xiao's dissatisfaction and fearing he might want to return the product, the system spoke up:
[Please start building the floating island as soon as possible. A sect that owns a floating island has many benefits, and the floating island will also experience a qualitative leap in all aspects as its prosperity level increases~]
Lin Xiao sighed silently.
Let's build it! At least the space is so much bigger now.
It's floating in the air, how cool is that?
He started walking on the rocky, muddy ground, looking around.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao remembered something he had previously stored in his private vault: Yaoguang Attached Pearl.
He quickly found the thing in his private stash and took it out.
He remembered that this thing could be connected to the Yaoguang Floating Island, which would grant access to a small world.
Floating islands plus a miniature world...
I feel like I won't have to worry about not having a place to go for a long time.
[Do you wish to begin connecting the Yaoguang Attached Pearl to the Yaoguang Floating Island?]
Lin Xiao thought about it and figured that since he was going to keep it anyway, it wouldn't matter whether he connected it sooner or later, so he decisively chose yes.
[Connection in progress, please wait]
With nothing else to do, Lin Xiao took the opportunity to sit cross-legged and continue browsing the floating island control panel.
He first clicked on [Floating Island Height Settings], and the current height displayed was 3,500 meters.
Because the mountainside where Lingxian Sect is located is actually a platform with a height of over 500 meters, and the floating island rises 3,000 meters from the platform, the total distance to the ground is 3,500 meters.
The highest peak of North Mountain is about the same height.
It's just that the slope of the entire North Mountain mountain range is very steep, and the highest peak is not close to the mountainside where Lingxian Sect is located, so the floating island doesn't look like it's touching the mountain peak.
However, in reality, the bottom of Yaoguang Floating Island is currently at roughly the same level as the highest peak of North Mountain.
Lin Xiao felt that this was too easy for them to see, which wasn't good.
So he changed the initial altitude from 3,500 meters to 5,000 meters in the altitude settings.
The next moment, sitting on the floating island, he felt the island rising rapidly upwards.
Then it came to a steady stop after a short while.
Having experienced it firsthand, Lin Xiao felt no discomfort from the sudden braking; instead, he found it very fun.
After adjusting the altitude, he ran to the edge of the floating island and peered down.
We could already see some thin clouds swirling around us.
In Lin Xiao's eyes, which now have exceptionally good eyesight, the Lingxian Sect and Xiushui Village below have become super miniature landscapes.
That height is high enough that a fall from it would shatter the body to pieces.
Fortunately, he's not afraid of heights.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then lifted his leg and tried to walk out of the edge of the floating island.
He wanted to check if the floating island had any safety measures in place, otherwise what if some disciples who didn't know how to use the Air-Stepping Technique or weren't good at Air-Stepping Technique fell down?
He had assumed that the floating islands produced by the system would take this into account and wouldn't allow anyone to actually walk out, but unexpectedly, his legs actually stretched out.
Unconvinced, Lin Xiao walked outside again.
Then he actually left the floating island.
Was it just randomly released...?
After thinking for a moment, he opened the [Floating Island Defense Attack Settings] and saw that there was indeed an option for entry and exit settings.
In reality, the security system on this floating island is enabled; however, the designated protection personnel are listed as "[floating island residents]".
However, although Lin Xiao is the owner of the floating island, he does not seem to be a resident of the floating island at present.
Because the [Floating Island Resident Population] section currently shows 0 people.
Lin Xiao immediately returned to the floating island, set himself as a resident, and then turned around to try stepping out again.
Yes, it's blocked, that's good.
Then he immediately leaped into the air.
He also wanted to test the floating island's protective range around it.
It turned out that the protective area here was roughly an inverted hemisphere with the same diameter as the floating island, and the height that could be reached was only about 500 meters. Any further upwards would be blocked by the protective barrier.
Furthermore, Lin Xiao searched and found no option to change this range setting, which meant that it could not be changed arbitrarily.
He suddenly remembered what the system had just said: increasing the prosperity level of the floating islands would improve all aspects of the floating islands.
This probably means that as the construction of floating islands flourishes, the upper limit of this range might increase.
But there's no rush for that.
Anyway, the current floating island space plus that small world should be enough for them to build for quite a long time.
Just as I was pondering this, the system notification sounded at the opportune moment:
[The connection between the Yaoguang Attached Pearl and the Yaoguang Floating Island is complete. The entrance to the Yaoguang Small World has been opened at the center of the floating island. The host can manage and operate it through the Yaoguang Floating Island console.]
Lin Xiao turned his head and saw that the center of the floating island was indeed no longer bare and empty as before.
There appeared a small puddle, about fifty centimeters in diameter, surrounded by a ring of colorful pebbles, and in the very center of the puddle was a small fountain.
The spray reached a height of about one meter, with a small bead suspended above it—the very same Yaoguang Attached Pearl that had been stored in Lin Xiao's private vault.
Lin Xiao stepped forward and examined the so-called entrance to the small world.
Hmm... it doesn't seem very impressive.
But that's not important.
He reached out and touched the bead, and the next moment, he was transported to another dimension.
The entrance to this little world is located in a corner near the edge.
Looking around, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
At least this place isn't as barren and empty as Yaoguang Floating Island.
Unlike Yaoguang Floating Island, the scenery here is quite pleasant.
The ground was covered with flowers of all colors, and from a distance it looked like a large carpet of blooming flowers. In the middle was a Crescent Lake lake, with a faint rainbow hanging on its surface.
Lin Xiao bent down and picked a flower that was in full bloom and resembled a double-petaled peony, which had grown to about knee-length beside him.
The flowers were very fresh, and they seemed to have a faint medicinal scent mixed with the floral fragrance.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the sea of flowers swayed gently in the light waves.
It is beautiful, but apart from that, there is nothing else here.
Everything has to start from scratch.
These flowers might actually be quite valuable.
However, there are so many kinds of flowers now, all sorts of colors and patterns.
He didn't want to pick them all one by one and put them in his private collection for identification; that would be too much of a waste of time.
We can have Senior Liao come and take a look another day.
